This is a bit about her work written to link with an exhibition at the Howard Scott gallery.
“The thick, viscous red-hued paint shaped and
scrapped upon strips of naked cloth emanates feelings of femaleness: her power
and passion, her cycles and repetitions. The layering, the gluing, tearing and
sewing all gives rise to the idea of labor specifically woman’s labor, a kind of
thoughtful, painstaking never-ending work that manifests itself in tactile
visions of strength, beauty, necessity, serendipity.
The objects
are very much themselves, independent and unbeholden to any specific tradition,
yet they contain the emotional dynamism of Louis Burgeois, the semantic
materiality of Joseph Beuys, the subtle tactility of Eva Hesse and the symbolic
charge of African art. "Source: Howard Scott Gallery
